Imperial Klingon States (FASA)

Symbol of the Imperial Klingon States (FASA 2007; colorized; Original B&W Image)

The IKS was a small but thriving governmental unit in the Triangle that claimed to be the rightful Klingon Imperial government in exile. Admiral Kamato and his political allies founded this group of worlds on Reference Stardate 1/9709.1 (1 September 2257)^[1]^{[Notes 1]} after a failed coup forced them to flee the Empire. The independent government of the IKS operated along the lines of the Klingon Empire, but on a far smaller scale. It had trade agreements with a number of UFP allies, but no major power recognized it as the legitimate Klingon government.^[2]

Notes

↑ Although the Reference Stardate 1/9709.1 would normally translate to a date of 1 September 2255, this predates the reunification of the Klingon Empire's twenty-four Great Houses under a single chancellorship in December 2257, as seen in the first season of Star Trek: Discovery. Moving the date to 2257, however, places it during the final months of the Klingon War, and aligns the narrative better to the events occurring during the Four Years War in the FASA Timeline.

The IKS was a small but thriving governmental unit in the Triangle that claimed to be the rightful Klingon Imperial government in exile. Admiral Kamato and his political allies founded this group of worlds on Reference Stardate 1/9709.1 (1 September 2197)^[1] after a failed coup forced them to flee the Empire. The independent government of the IKS operated along the lines of the Klingon Empire, but on a far smaller scale. It had trade agreements with a number of UFP allies, but no major power recognized it as the legitimate Klingon government.^[2]
